Chris, I honestly don't know if my Rosenthals came from Pommern/ Western Prussia. I don't have much information past what I posted. Family legend has it that Otto Rosenthal emigrated from somewhere in Germany with his parents, and that either he or his father were tailors (nothing confirmed on that though, not even the father's name.) If I do find something out I will let you know. Mary>:-) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
